Curious il True.

Ira L. Carver, prominent busl-
ness man of Boston, arrived over
land today, and is registered at the
Palace. He cou not refrain from
remarking curious coincidence
after he registered. He came to
this State for the first time on June
ID. 1888, again visited it on June
18th, 1885. and on today, the see
ond anniversary of his second visit
he again placed his name on the
register. On each occasion it was
his intention to get there before
the 18th of June, but delays on the
road prevented his arrival sooner.
Mr.. Carver is Of the opinion that
if he started out from Boston on
the first Of January be could not
get to San Francisco before June
18th. Another curious circum
stance in connection with Mr..
Carver's pilgrimage was that on his
first be was assigned to room 900
fourth floor, on his second to 1901
and today the clerk handed him
out the key to 1,G0z. By the mid
die of the next century he will get
up, at this rate of progression, to
the next floor Post.

SOMETHING ABOUT PAPERS

The Index in a recent article
gives some interesting figures re-
garding the number of outside news
papers taken in Carson City. They
are mostly Sacramento, San Fran
cisco and Virginia papers and the
total foots up to nearly 800. Pos
sibly there is no State where the
citizens pa.ronize their own papers
so little ano outside papers so
much.
The bulk of the papers brought
into this city from the outside
scarcely ever have anything to say
for the interests of Carson. There
are four papers published in the
city of Carson today but not one of
them can be said to properly rep
resent city of the size of Carson.
Neither are these papers credit to
the profession of journalism. The
Index suggests that if the people
of the city were to combine in one
morning and one evening paper the
quality of the paper would be i'm
proved and the nuisance of having
four newspapers in a town of 5000
inhabitants would be abated.
This is a good idea and worthy
the attention of business men. The
monthly raid of four newspaper
collectors on the business men of
the city is becoming more and
more of nuisance, for there is not
business man in the city who
does not know that an advertise
ment in a morning paper and an
other in an evening publication, Is
Just as good for him as if it were
in a dozen more Carson papers.
Besides the amount subscribed
to outside dealers there is large
amount of money goes out tor pc
riodicals of all descriptions. A
fair estimate of the money which
goes out of Carson for papers
monthly, would be $500, Now if
$1,000 of this were to be paid to
any one paper in Carson that pa
per could give the city a telegraph
service equal to the Enterprise and
much earlier. If $500 were to be
divided between two papers, a
morning and evening. the latest tel
egraphic news could be hawked or
the street every day in the week al
6 o'clock in the morning and at
in the afternoon. Instead of that
however. in order to get the tele
graph news, men who never take {
Carson paper will send to Sar
Francisco and get the news twelv,
hours old.
There are State, County and Fed
eral officials who never take Car
son paper but are quite willing t.
read it at a hotel or restaurant tabl
for the pleasure they derive in find
ing a typographical error there
Of the outside papers, the Sa
Francisco Chronicle heads the lis
with 253. We do not believ
that any single paper In Carson ha
city circulation as large as this
The ENTERPRISE circulates It's her,
and in our opinion there are bu
two papers In Carson whose cit
circulation exceeds these figures,

THE SUGAR DUTIES.
TBostOn Journal.

The duties on sugar amount to over $780,
100000. To put sugar on the free list, Or
even to cnt down the duties one-half, would
reduce the prceIof one of the most important
necessaries of life, and would bring greater
relief to our entire population than any SIN
gle change that could be made, while boun-
ties to American sugar growers would coun-
teract any injury to their industry. If the
sugar duties were reduced only one-half
there |ould be ample margin left for other
cnanges IN the tariff, in the enlargement of
the free list and in the reduction Of duties,
which could be so adjusted as to strengthen
and develop our industries

next April that the old New England
pioneers founded Marietta, and began to do
their part in laying the foundations of the
great State of Ohio. The citizens of Mariet-
ia propose to celebrate the anniversary ap-
propriately; but just now are engaged in a
most unfortunate wrangle over the time Of
the celebration. One faction wants the cele-
bration to be on April 18th, while another,
who thinks the New Englanders had no
business to get there so early in the spring,
wants to put the celebration off to the pleas
anter days Of May. The quarrel has waxed
almost warm enough to disturb those yener-
able pioneers themselves.

representative from Illinois, speaking of the
prospect of legislation to reduce the surplus
says:
1t is not the purpose of any one in the House on
the d Democratic side to attempt to pass bill
which will propose to reduce the surplus by re-
duction in the rates OF customs duties Alone Mr..
Carlisle has no such intention. OF course, as a
fact Of practical legislation such bill could not
be passed through the House. i don't suppose
that the President has any such expectation.
The bill which will be reported from the Ways
and Means Committee VIII propose a reduction
Of Internal revenue taxes: II VIII probably pro-
pose to take off all Of the taxes upon tobacco.
Without concession Of that sort we could not
hope to pass BILL and we should, in such case,
be left in embarrassing position. 1t is my indi-
Vidual opinion that the measure which Will ulti-
mately pass both the House and Senate will take
of the taxes on tobacco, repeal one half of the
other eusfoms duties The President has moi
gone so far i'm regard TO internal revenue taxes
that he can refuse to sign bill which viii repea
considerable part OF them.
This is supporting the Presidents policy
with vengeance. Mr.. Cleveland distinctly
opposed the reduction of The internal reye
nue. taxes and urged reduction Of the tariff
as the sole means of disposing of the surplus.
But now comes a prominent member of the
Democratic House and declares that the
Democrats have no idea Of following the
Presidents recommendations They are
just as much in favor of a compromise be-
tween the Carlisle ring and the Randall ring
as they were before the President spoke
This is not surprising. The Democratic
party has not for the past quarter of a cen.
tury taken positive stand on any important
question unless it was absolutely obliged to
Its fayorite position has been a-straddle Of
the fence ready to get down on either side as
circumstances might indicate. We have nc
doubt that the Presidents plain words filled
the most Of the party with alarm, and that
their real feeling is one Of regret that he did
not confne himself to those ambiguous com.
monplaces about the tariff which have ema-
mated from Democratic conventions for some
years past. We have never believed that
they would initiate the Presidents frank
ness and consent to bill embodying the
Presidents suggestions. In 1876 and again
In 1880 the national Democracy declared In
their platform for tariff for revenue only,
but when that issue was raised they ran
away from 1t like flock Of scared sheep
Possibly they have acquired some courage
since that time, but we do not believe they
have acquired enough to stand up to the
Presidents programme.

prophetic words: Now, mark INV words.

The Hon. Eugene Higgins has decided to
retire from public life and seek the seclusion
which he can never obtain inside the Treas
ury department or the polling places of
Baltimore. The disappearance of Higgins
will leave void that it will be hard to fill.
Scarcely day has passed since the Presi-
dent picked him up in the streets of Balti-
more and elevated him to the position Of ap-
pointment clerk in the Treasury that the
public has not had Higgins for breakfast and
for supper Civil service reform associa-
tions have hurled resolutions against him,
and MugwunIps have besought the President
to remove him. but Higgins has stood as firm
as a rock He has even presumed to laugh
at the Presidents dear friends, the Mug
wumps, and apply to them opprobrious epi-
thets. Whenever it seemed good to him and
20 German to run over to Baltimore to pack
a caucus he has done so, and though his per-
formances excited the adverse criticism of the
reformers they never apparently weakened
him in the esteem Of the administration. He
spoke contemptously of reform supposed
to be dear to the Presidents heart, but the
President needed 1t not. He violated in q
most public manner the Presidents orders.
but his official head still remained erect and
firm. And now, full of honors and advertis-
ing, he voluntarily steps down and out, sim
ply because he has found business that
will yield him better returns than running
Germans caucusesi and discrediting Presi-
dent Cleveland's civil service reform profess
sions

The leading Republicans of Indiana hold
meeting for organization the Goth of this
month at Indianapolis. There is throughout
the State deep feeling of indignation at the
outrage perpetrated on them by the Demo-
Gratis last winter. while the gerrymander of
1885 and the tally sheet forgeries are not
forgotten. On the temperance question old
divisions are healed, and in view of the un-
questioned domination of the saloon element
over the Democratic party of the State
ground in favor of advanced temperance
legislation win probably be taken. cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette says that at no time since the war
has the Republican party of Indiana been so
united and enthusiastic.

The Presidents message has evidently not
been conducive to harmony in the State of
Virginia. This is the reproof which the
Democratic Washington Post thinks it nee
essary to administer to the recalcitrant party
la the Old Dominion: "a Democratic Presi-
dent states the Democratic position on the
whole question of federal taxation. A
Democratic house of delegates in State
which almost touches the Capital City rises
up to repudiate that position and to defy the
party which has assumed it. Without the
slightest consideration for the President or
the Democratic leaders in the Senate or the
House. without any thought of the five mil
lions Of Democrats who live beyond the
boundaries of Virginia, Virginia Democrats
demand that the tariff taxes shall not be
considered until the internal taxes have been
entirely wiped out 1t is time for some
plain talk to our Virginia friends" Per-
haps there are some other Southern States
that will be on the Democratic front seat for
plain talk before many months.
